Starting from our frustrated goals of being pop superstars and with the intention of finding a space for the most characteristic and canonical musical styles of mainstream culture in theaters, Caribe Mix ’23 is proposed on stage as the recording of the video clip of the original song No Se Va a Pegar (Pop Star). Through this piece we continue to develop our Dance-Concert style, and we question ourselves: Can a performance piece represent a promotional format?
Mar Garcia and Javi Soler are a dance company motivated by scenic research and the relationship between sound and movement. His way of seeing stage creation focuses on the composition from the audience’s perspective and finds in the score the ideal connection between sound and movement. With their projects they have passed through creation centers such as La Caldera, El Graner, El Corralito/TNT and Dansa València. Since its inception in 2021, they have created 4 performance pieces and workshops.
